"A colonial bungalow in the middle of Jodhpur, with a fusion restaurant carrying on the House of Sodawas name"
Karni Bhawan is a heritage colonial bungalow in the heart of Jodhpur, on Defence Lab Road, and the hotel describes it as a charming heritage residence rather than a palace conversion.
Being a bungalow rather than a fort changes the stay. It is domestic in scale and sits inside the city, so it works as a base for Jodhpur itself rather than as a destination you drive out to.
The in house restaurant and bar is Nuovo Taashli, which the hotel presents as a fusion kitchen carrying forward the legacy of the House of Sodawas. Rooms and suites run across several grades, and the property is part of the Karni group of hotels.
A classified heritage hotel at Rohet near Jodhpur, held by the same family since 1622 and receiving guests since 1990. Frescoed rooms, a courtyard pool, a family kitchen with its own cookbook, and a Marwari stable the family calls among the country's finest.
